Atem Manor

About two months had gone by since Yami and Yugi started dating. The school's duel tournament was a week away and Yami and Yugi were together in Yami's room after school on Friday. Together they sat on the carpeted floor and looked through the massive amount of duel monsters cards spread out before them. They were working together to build their decks for the partner duel tournament. Yami said it was important for the two of them to know each others decks so they could work well together. Yugi agreed since they never actually dueled together before.

The two however did have dueling experience. Yugi had entered and won at least three duel tournaments while Yami had him beat by winning five. Although the two seemed similar in dueling style and monster types, filling their deck with mostly spellcasters, Yugi's cards focused on strengthen his monsters over time and relaying on spell cards to boost them even more. Yugi also liked using effect monsters, like beasts and sometimes even a fairy, that could turn the duel in his favor just when he needed it.

Yami however liked a more direct approach, attacking with strong monsters head on and using traps as well as spells. Yami's favorites of course were spellcasters and he was never afraid to show off just how many he could summon in a turn. His spell and trap cards were centered around certain spellcasters that he used often. Such as dark magic attack for dark magician. Yami was very good at setting up his opponents, and always seemed to have a game plan for any situation.

By the time they were finished, it was 6:30 but Yugi continued looking over the extra cards excitedly. Not even his grandfathers card shop had this many cards. Yugi's eyes lit up as he looked over each one, like a kid at Christmas and Yami couldn't get over just how adorable his little one looked. He felt like he could sit on his bed for hours watching Yugi on the floor. Looking at every card tickled pink. He probably would have too if Yugi hadn't spoken up.

"Hey Yami, have you ever tired to a make to more than one deck? You have enough to make at least four here!"

"Hmmm, actually I have. But I can't seem to duel without my dark magician deck. I've had that card for so long and I feel like it's bonded with me. Do you find that strange?"

Yugi shook his head as he answered.

"No not at all. I'm the exact same way. I love to look at cards and swap some out but the ones I've had the longest are always in my deck. I don't think it would be right to just get rid of the cards that have always stood by me. That would be like trying to replace a friend and there's no way you can do that."

Yami smiled. He could tell from that statement that Yugi really treasured the people and things he in his life, just as he did. He only hoped that Yugi considered him just as precious, for Yami couldn't imagine being with out him. Yugi had brought something special into his life, a certain light that seemed to make things brighter and bring a sense of peace to Yami's restless heart. Yami was so lost in thought that he didn't notice Yugi getting up from the floor and sitting down right next to him on the bed until he was about an inch away.

Yami's eyes opened in surprise, making Yugi smirk as he turned away with a fake pout on his face.

"Aw...I was so close...I gonna try to get the jump on you for a change."

This made Yami laugh and tackle his little one with a kiss. Laying down on his back, Yugi moaned into the kiss while wrapping his arms around Yami's neck. The older one's bangs slightly tickled his face, making him giggle as Yami left butterfly kisses on Yugi's neck. Stopping his assault, Yami lifted himself up and looked down at Yugi with content in his eyes. He loved seeing Yugi happy and it brought him even more joy knowing that he was the one that made him happy.

"Yami? What's on your mind? Are you ok?" Yugi asked reaching up to cup Yami's face with his right hand.

Leaning into the gentle touch, Yami kissed the inside of Yugi's palm as he spoke.

"Yes little one. In fact I'm wonderful, you make me feel so loved when I'm with you."

Yami leaned down and nuzzled Yugi's neck, leaving gentle butterfly kisses while savoring the feather like feel of Yugi's skin. The sounds of the younger ones moans became like music to the older one's ears. A sudden surge of pleasure ran through Yugi's body when felt Yami's tender warm hand run underneath his shirt. The younger lover tossed his head to one side at the feel of Yami's lips now kissing his stomach while his chest began to quickly rise and fall from panting so heavily. Having his eyes closed in contentment, Yugi opened them for a second to see something he never thought he would.

A slight gasp of surprise escaped Yugi's mouth when he looked up to see Yami blush on his cheeks at the enticing site before him. Yugi was flushed, panting, moaning with his hair slightly a mess. His soft yet seductive voice barely above a whisper as he called out Yami's name. Becoming desperate to touch him, Yugi's hands ripped opened Yami's shirt and began to touch his chest. Losing himself in the tender feeling of his skin. Yami's eyes grew wide, moaning as he looked down with surprise at his little one's ambition.

The senior swore he could drown in the lustful gaze that filled Yugi's eyes when he looked up at him. Yami leaned in close, whispering soft nothings into his ear before leaving kisses all over his sweet face. First one on his forehead, then each closed eye lid. Then nose, cheeks, till finally his reclaimed Yugi's lips once more. Yugi returned the show of affection by giving his lover a slow, passionate kiss. Diving his tongue into Yami's mouth to savor his taste.

A sudden knock on the door surprised the two lovers. Making Yami sigh in frustration before standing from the bed and going to see who disturbed them. He opened the door to be greeted with the site of his sister. A deep strawberry red blush covered her cheeks as a slightly embarrassed look was on her face. By hearing the commotion from outside, Laura had easily figured out what the two boys had been up too. The artist couldn't help give a slight cough as she spoke.

"Uh...sorry to bother you. I just wanted to let you know I'm going over to Yusei's to practice for the tournament. Might stay the weekend."

"Ah yes. You did say that but I forgot. Thank you for letting me know before you left. You two have been spending a lot of time together as of late."

"We're just partners. Now do you mind putting on a shirt?"

Yami smirked slightly at seeing his sister's face flushed as she turned her gaze to the ground. Laura was very conservative and even if it was her family, it somewhat bother her to see a male with a shirt off unless it was at a swimming pool. The fact that Laura once had a secret innocence crush on her brother when she was very little, didn't help things either. Deciding to tease her a bit, Yami came close to Laura's ear and whispered.

"You never cease to be adorable, my sweet sister..."

Making Laura's blush grow deeper if that was even possible. Faster than you could flip a trap card, the artist took two quick steps backward and shot her brother a 'that's not fair' look. Which only caused Yami to laugh as he found her pouting face and small punch to his chest to be even more adorable.

"Would you stop that!"

Laura said as she stuck her tongue out at her brother who continued to laugh. With a quick wave, Laura ran off leaving Yami to go back to his little one who was blushed in the face. Trying to button up his shirt again as quickly possible. Yami smirked, swiftly and seductively walking over to his little one. He began kissing Yugi fiercely on his neck while interrupting his hands by placing them at either side. Removing his lips from the now bright red, tender skin, Yami smirked as he spoke.

"No need to be shy Yugi. You certainly weren't shy a moment ago..."

"That was before you forgot to tell me Laura was still here! I thought she had plans."

Yugi looked up at Yami who had sat down near the window before he answered.

"Yes, she and Yusei are partners in the tournament. She's been spending a lot of time with him the past three weeks."

"Do you think they'll end up as more than friends?" Yugi asked.

Yami smirked. Humming to himself as he turned his attention to the window to watch Laura walk out of house. She stopped to turn and wave at him before leaving the grounds. A smile was on the seniors face as he waved back before he spoke.

"I'm hoping they do. Laura deserves someone like Yusei. Especially after what happened with her last relationship. However I am still a bit worried."

"Of course, you are her brother."

"Yes, but Laura is much more than just a sister to me."

Yugi's smile began to fade as a curious look grew on his face at hearing Yami's confession. His lover had suddenly grown a bit somber while continuing to stare outside. Taking a deep breath, Yami turned around to face the ground. He then spoke in a tender tone of voice, admitting to Yugi a secret that almost no one else knew.

"When I was younger, I was not the strong, confident person you see me as now. Back then, I was often teased and bullied for my eye color. Especially when I was angry, some people would call me a demon. Even my mother, who became so disgusted with me that she left my Father when I was only four. Apparently she admitted to only marring my father for his money and ran off when someone even richer came along."

Yugi gasped in shock feeling of overwhelming sadness filled his heart, but he remained quiet so Yami could continue.

"When my father met my stepmother, things became better at home. She's kind, devoted to my father and loves me as her son. Yet I was still dealing with being an outcast at school around others my age. The day Laura was born, I felt an incredible amount of happiness for the first time in a long while. Yet for most of her life I stayed distant from her because I didn't want her to be scared of me or be teased for being my sibling. Then one day everything changed when I stood up to protect her. She knew from my father exactly who I was, and she loved me at first site. My sweet sister had long excepted me as her sibling and wanted to spend time with me. From then on, I was no longer alone. Laura is more than my sister, she is a light in my life Yugi. A light that embraced me with unconditional love just as you have."

"Really?" Yugi asked.

Unsure of how he could have made such an effect on Yami's life.

"Yes. Before we met, people had many expectations of me. Laura had move out on her own to try and start her career as an artist early even though she's still in high school. While I did have my friends, I felt like I didn't really have someone I could be myself with. I was feeling lonely and unsure. Then I talked to you in the schools chat room. Right away I became relived and happier than I had before. You're kindness, humor and friendship was so comforting and warm to me. Before I realized what had happened, I was in love with you. Like I said before, you make feel so loved when I'm with you. I can't imagine not having you in my life, Yugi."

Yugi smiled. His heart was warmed, so moved by Yami's words, Yugi stood up and walked over to him. Wrapping his arms around his older lovers waist, Yugi laid his head in Yami's chest. Slightly confused, Yami stared at his little one while returning his act of affection. Becoming concerned when he felt tears on his chest.

"Yugi?"

"I'm sorry Yami... I didn't realize how sad and lonely you were, you're always so amazingly confident and charismatic. Must have been so hard to keep all that to yourself, I'm glad to know that you feel comfortable enough to let go around me. And I'm even more happy to know how much I mean to you. I love you too Yami, and I promise I won't let you feel alone ever again. Cause your just as important to me too."

Yami smiled in happiness and pulled Yugi down to lay beside him on the bed. Starting at his forehead, Yami left gentle butterfly kisses all over his little ones face.

"Thank you, my sweet one. You are far too precious to me...More than you could realize."

Yami continued his show affection as he once again removed Yugi's shirt. Seductively picking up where they were rudely interrupted.
